    This document provides examples of how adverbs are used to modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. It gives examples such as "He drove slowly" and "She moved quite slowly." Adverbs often indicate when, where, why, or how something occurs. While many adverbs end in "-ly", that ending alone does not determine if a word is an adverb. The document then provides two practice exercises with sentences containing blanks for inserting adverbs based on cues like "quickly" or "carefully." The exercises are meant to reinforce the proper uses of adverbs in modifying verbs and adjectives.

    Adverbs Practice Sheet 1

    Adverbs are words that modify

     a verb (He drove slowly. — How did he drive?)


     an adjective (He drove a very fast car. — How fast was his car?)
     another adverb (She moved quite slowly down the aisle. — How slowly did she
    move?)

    As we will see, adverbs often tell when, where, why, or under what conditions
    something happens or happened. Adverbs frequently end in -ly; however, many words
    and phrases not ending in -ly serve an adverbial function and an -ly ending is not a
    guarantee that a word is an adverb. The words lovely, lonely, motherly, friendly,
    neighborly, for instance, are adjectives:

     That lovely woman lives in a friendly neighborhood.
